Pocholo shared that if one is working with passion, you never work in your entire life since you are enjoying your every action. He added also that nothing is impossible if one thinks that it can be done.


He pointed out the 4 points in Personal Branding;

1. Discover what your strengths are and position yourself.
2. Create a branding tool kit to sell yourself.
3. Communicate your value proposition to the right audience.
4. Maintain your reputation throughout your career.

Good Communication Skills especially in telecommunication industry is vital. It helps us better understand the project more, engage with colleagues effectively, resolve differences, build trust and create an environment where creative ideas, problem solving, affection and caring can flourish. We usually send information, receive and process huge numbers of messages to get result & we can achieve it better if we have good understanding of the one in the other end and the same time vice versa.

Empowerment Talk is brought to us by the Marketing Department and Human Resources Department to share more to the team members some inputs about Leadership, Social Media, Digital Marketing, Human Development, Branding, Teamwork, Innovation and to be grateful and thankful of the blessings we receive everyday to achieve our goals professionally and personally. Elabram Systems in the Philippines so far did 5 Empowerment talks with the likes of Eyriche Cortes, Sonny Santos, Lloyd Luna, Jomar Hilario among the past speakers who are the best motivational speakers in the Philippines.

 "Bolt 4G is available as a mobile wireless modem service running on 2300MHz covering Jakarta and the surrounding cities. The frequency that Bolt operates in has been declared as technology neutral by the Indonesian government, which means that even though initially Internux was a WiMAX provider, it is now free to operate LTE on that same frequency. The company has an allocated 15MHz band in which to deliver its service. Ideally LTE requires a 20MHz spread to provide a stable and consistent service, but the company claims that it can operate with only 15MHz. A company representative did not comment on whether it will seek to add the additional five megahertz."
